Love Those You Teach

Principles and Methods of Teaching

How can loving those I teach make a difference in their lives?

If you want to influence learners for good, you should not only love to teach; you should love each person you teach. As you show your love for those you teach, they become more open to learning from you and more aware of their eternal worth.

Search for ways to help new members and those who have been less active feel welcome in your class. Invite them to come, and introduce them to other class members. Invite them to participate by asking them questions you know they can answer and otherwise helping them feel comfortable in class.

“A gospel teacher should always teach with love for the students. … Love of God and love of His children is the highest reason for service. Those who teach out of love will be magnified as instruments in the hands of Him whom they serve.”
